• "Great location. Not as noisy as most bars that surrounds the Marina."
• "The restaurant is in a premium location with excellent views."

Cons:

• "A bit overcrowded and noisy for my taste but that's more of a reflection of my advancing age."
• "Took well over an hour to get served ANY food after getting a table."
• "Be aware that you are by the waterside if you eat outside though, so the 'wildlife' could get interesting!"
• "Unfortunately there was a dog nearby being groomed and had a lot of dog hair ending up in food and drinks."
• "Place is tired and dirty and toilets also equally disgusting."
• "It can get extremely cold though so best to wrap up warm in the colder months, even when sat inside."
• "We felt very much like an inconvenience rather than a large table of pre-ordered paying customers."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Nice pizza. Not the usual chain options which makes a nice interesting change."
• "Very filling and generously topped pizza."
• "The meal was clearly produced with fresh ingredients, really well prepared and delicious (especially the Coleslaw)."
• "Hands down the best pizza I’ve had, even compared to those in Italy!"
• "The food was absolutely excellent! I enjoyed the tastiest toasted chicken wrap and salad I've ever had the pleasure of eating! Proper tasty."
• "The pizza was excellent and very tasty."
• "Our pizzas were amazing, just the right amount of toppings."

Cons:

• "The salad was disappointing for £8.50 as it was 90% onion and rocket, was without any sauce (only lemon) and had barely any avocado."
• "Pizzas were all just really disappointing sadly. I had the bbq chicken one and it was awfully sweet (unusually so)."
• "Mine was slightly underdone."
• "Food is normally ok to good, but nothing special."
• "The puddings... didn't look as good as they sounded on the menu."
• "Worst pizza ever. Tasteless and bland! The base was like crispy cardboard or crackers."

• "Staff were great and very prompt."
• "Really friendly waiters."
• "Service was great."
• "Our waitress Chloe was amazing all evening and always catered to our needs."
• "Service was attentive and quick."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the service was unwelcoming from the start, service slow."
• "The service just seemed to go out the window."
• "Service was mediocre, If you've been once there's little to bring you back."
• "The waiting staff offered no help when ordering our food and appeared seemingly disinterested."
• "Gone right down hill, been about 6 times progressively worse, wrong pizza base sauce, ingredients terrible compared to what it was a few months ago."
• "The service I had the last time I was there was quite poor."
• "The reason for the drop in stars is that the 'quick' lunch I was after took so long to arrive."

Cider Selection

Pros:

• "Delicious fresh pizzas but the selection of sparkling ciders is surprisingly tiny and all of the ciders are overpriced."
• "The selection of ciders is great and the staff know their stuff so they can help you find something to your taste."
• "So many cider options, including cider brandy."
• "They have a huge range of great ciders."
• "Spent a very pleasant afternoon here, trying some of the many quality ciders on offer."
• "Fantastic selection of drinks, cider especially."
• "The Snails Bank Fruit Bat was amazing, like having a boiled sweet in cider!"

Cons:

• "Also the ciders were served luke warm. Very weird!"
• "Terrible espresso martini. £9.95 for a pale anaemic watery tasteless drink pre-prepared off site."
• "Love it here, although very disappointed they've taken my fave cider off the menu!!"
• "Probably the worst pint I have had! We both left ours."
• "Very complicated QR code to order and pay. Covid is not an excuse to stop providing personal service."
• "However, a simple request to omit mushrooms on one fell on deaf ears & the pizza arrived unchanged."
• "Don't plan on getting out of here quickly.... table booked and food pre-ordered for 8.30 but starters delivered after more than an hour."

• "Spending about £12-£15 including drinks per person."
• "The prices for drinks are a little bit higher than usual."
• "Friendly staff and lovely location. Good however wasn't all that for the price."
